We'll see you back here on Wednesday night for State of Origin action!

Canberra had one last chance to keep the game alive, but Rapana throws an intercept to Doueihi, who streaks away to score in his return game after a lengthy injury absence.

The crowd at Campbelltown Stadium give him a standing ovation as he earns an early mark from coach Benji Marshall.

"What a moment for Adam Doueihi ... 400 days out, three ACLs and he seals the deal," Brenton Speed said on Nine.

Galvin, Fainu, Doueihi and Bula all link up, but the Raiders shut it down at the last second in desperate fashion.

"That left edge has got some strike," Andrew Johns said on Nine.

"It's their first game playing together, you would think they've played for 10 years."

A disjointed last play ends with Galvin standing still and grubbering towards the goalposts, where Rapana has an air-swing and Koroisau scoops it up to score.

"If this was a boxing bout, they would stop the fight,

"Raiders are out on their feet and Tigers are doing whatever they like. Look at the composure, this kid Galvin is 18 years old.

"That is such composure from a young man ... it's incredible."

This is an insane start to the second half and Canberra are in all sorts.

What a way to start the second half!

"Get that into ya," Phil Gould said on Nine.

"Forget about what Ricky said - what did Benji say? Second tackle in their own half. No thoughts of being conservative or protecting their lead."
